[QUOTE="ARPackFan, post: 937654, member: 9355"] Mark Murphy reorganized the structure of the Packers where the HC & GM report directly when he relieved Ted Thompson of his duties as GM. I assume this is still the case.

If there was a decline in his play in 2016 & 2017 then it's fair to assume that Gutekunst & Murphy must not have seen it as they gave him a 4 year $134M extension taking Rodgers to 2023. They also must have felt that the 2017 shoulder injury was of no concern. In a dysfunctional 2018 year with the soon to fired McCarthy and a bad knee he still managed to throw for 4442 yards / 25 TDs / 2 Int. New HC /new offense in 2019, throws for 4002 yards / 26 TDs /4 Int. and the team makes it to the NFCC. I understand the need to be looking at QBs for the future but the optics of drafting a 1st round QB in 2020 looks like it had nothing to do with performance on the field. My guess (and it is just a guess) is that drafting Love in the 2020 draft was the result of internal conflict between Murphy / Gutekunst and Rodgers. Somehow the relationship was bad enough that a individual in the position to dictate the draft decided "F*** Aaron Rodgers, we will show him who is in charge and draft a QB" or "Aaron is to much of a loose cannon, draft a QB and let's move on" [/QUOTE]
